INSIDE AND OUTSIDE: Nature + Pop Culture News with Jessica Murnane

And we're back! This week's guest is Jena Gambaccini of ChiCityFashion. You've probably seen Jena around here before…creating half-assed meals and being the only person ever allowed to attend multiple For Reals Meals (it's hard to say no to her). Jena's been a big supporter of OPP since day one. And I'm really excited for you to hear her story.

Jena and I discuss why she hid ChiCityFashion from friends and family in the early days, what she learned about confidence and putting yourself out there, and the advantages of creating a city-specific website. Oh, and I also force her to reveal the new brand she's been working on, which I'm really excited about. And we talk dogs (hers) and babies (mine!). Fashion, puppies, babies, and big reveals…sounds like a pretty perfect episode to me.

Food-photography queen bee, Julie Lee of Julie's Kitchen, is this week's guest! Julie's been on the site before, sharing one of her beautiful recipes and hosting the first ever LA For Reals Meals, but this is the first time we really dig deep into the path she followed that brought her to success. And that path might not be what you think.

Julie and I discuss juggling five jobs at a time in the early days, how it's ok (and actually pretty healthy) to pursue more than one passion, and the action she took to protect her work after a big company used it without her permission. A lot of heart and a little bit of scandal…sounds pretty good, right?

Heather Crosby is this week's guest. Remember her? She was on the site earlier this week to give away her new cookbook (it's so good!). Clearly, I've got a thing for Heather and her message. And maybe her spicy taco recipe too. After hearing this episode, you'll understand why I dig her so much.

Heather and I discuss how she took her health in her own hands when doctors weren't giving her answers, how she went from eating her first salad at 19 to becoming a wellness expert, tips on getting a book published, and why she's not as perfect as you might think. Sounds awesome, right? Dive in there!

Dana Gordon of Dana Rebecca Designs (DRD) is my guest this week. One of the reasons I love Dana is that she never disappoints in the "real talk" department. She cuts through the bullshit and is always genuine, honest, and practical when comes to conversations on business and tricky life things. And she knows what she's talking about. She's built one of the most successful and popular jewelry brands out there today. Over the years, we've had a few of these talks, but this is for sure my favorite one (and YOU get to hear it!).

Dana and I discuss the giant risk she took that decided the fate of her career, the importance of creatives being business-minded, her advice on growing your brand to the next level, and the clash between working and stay-at-home moms (and what to do about it). There are some real game changer nuggets of wisdom in this episode, and I can't wait for you hear them.

Who says thirteen isn't lucky? Actually, I do all the time. I'm pretty superstitious. But getting to interview one of my favorite podcast hosts for this thirteenth episode feels pretty damn lucky. Eric Zimmer is the soothing voice behind the incredible and thought-provoking podcast, The One You Feed.

Eric and I discuss the parable that inspired his podcast, the struggle of staying off autopilot, the tools he uses to make sure he doesn't get stuck, and his practical and inspiring approach to healthy eating (I had no idea he was a fellow plant-head).

Sarah Gidick is this week's guest. She's the mastermind behind the popular site and Instagram Porn For Women (which is not actually porn – so you can listen and read post this at work, friends!). You might remember that Joy Claire mentioned Sarah on Episode 5 as someone that inspires her. Man, she was right. Her story really is inspiring.

Sarah and I discuss how she became a leader in the industry that rejected her, never giving up on your big dream, and her #1 tip for being successful at social media (clearly, it's working for her). Sarah is funny, kind, and super smart – and I'm excited for you to get to know her better.

Jess Lively is today’s guest. She’s one of the biggest reasons I wanted to start a podcast in the first place. Well, that and I like to talk a lot. Jess is one of the most passionate people I know – and watching her do her thing (when I was a guest on her show) gave me the bug to start my own.

On this episode, Jess and I discuss her path from selling weird ankle bracelets at a pool to the thriving business she has today, how setting goals isn’t always the best approach to finding success and happiness, and how the words of an old Italian sculptor changed her life forever.

Kip Andersen is this week's guest. He's the man behind the new environmental documentary, Cowspiracy. Described as "the film environmental organizations don't want you to see," it chronicles Kip's journey to uncover the most destructive industry facing our planet.

Kip and I discuss the catalyst for creating the film, how a Mad Cowboy almost scared him out of finishing the movie, and the most important first step we can take to help the environment and find true sustainability.

Max Wastler is my guest this week. I've known Max for about four years, but it wasn't until this episode that I truly understood the passion behind the risks he's taken and choices he's made with his career. It made for a solid talk.

Max talks about the 33 jobs he's had in 33 years, the origins of his hustler ways, and his mission to connect people to the makers of the products they use every day. He completely changed my perspective on the phrase "Made In America," and I'm excited to hear what you think about this episode.

Jamie Stelter is the morning traffic anchor for NY1, author of Transit Girl, the star of two web series on Ulive, and the creator of the popular food site TV Dinner. Oh, and you may remember that she was a Babe In Plantland, right here on OPP. I couldn't wait to talk to Jamie about everything she's been up to.

Jamie discusses how her battle with rheumatoid arthritis inspired her to start TV Dinner, the importance of creating a supportive community (on and offline), and the surprising way she found love.
